A Correlational Study to Assess the Effect of Social Media Engagement on Body Image Among Adolescents in Selected School, Haryana, India
Abstract: Social media has become an undeniable force in shaping modern social interactions, particularly among adolescents. Social media platforms are often criticized for perpetuating unattainable beauty ideals. These platforms frequently showcase images highlighting slimness, youth, and flawless skin, often manipulated by filters, photo editing tools, or even cosmetic surgery. These portrayals of "ideal" beauty can distort adolescents' sense of themselves, leading to increased body dissatisfaction. Objectives of the study were: (i) …

Development of a Soft Computing-Based Island Detection System and Performance Analysis
Abstract: There has been an overestimation of the global energy consumption in the last few years. Distributed Generators are being propelled forward by the motivation provided by the absence of suitable transmission capacity, exaggerated transmission and distribution mishaps, and the release of power marketing (DGs). It's a distributed age unit (DG slash hack expansion) and regional units linked to distribution that power the system, which has yet to have hundreds of …

Generative AI for Designing Sustainable Polymer Composites for Renewable Energy Applications
Abstract: Sustainable polymer composites are increasingly required for renewable energy devices, yet conventional trial-and-error formulation cannot efficiently balance performance, processability, recyclability, and environmental constraints. This study proposes a generative artificial intelligence framework for designing polymer composites for photovoltaic encapsulation, dielectric energy storage, polymer electrolytes, and thermal-management systems. Public polymer-property and composite datasets were curated from open databases and published supplementary records. Chemical descriptors, molecular fingerprints, polymer embeddings, processing variables, and sustainability …

A Ventilated Dual-Function Photonic–Phononic Metasurface for Simultaneous Passive Radiative Cooling and Low-Frequency Noise Mitigation in Building Envelopes: Conceptual Design and Computational Feasibility Analysis
Abstract: Acoustic metamaterials for sound insulation and photonic/radiative-cooling metamaterials for passive thermal management have each matured separately for building-envelope retrofit, but existing studies address ventilation, acoustic damping and radiative thermal control in isolation, and no reported unit-cell architecture co-designs all three within a single shared structure. This gap persists because materials that are acoustic absorptive are generally dense and structurally opaque, whereas materials that are highly solar-reflective are conventionally applied to …

Assessing Taila Bindu Pariksha as a Diagnostic and Prognostic test for Diabetes Mellitus
Abstract: Ayurveda has consistently emphasised on not just treatment of a disease but also how to diagnose it and further assess the prognosis. Ayurveda is blessed with different diagnostic tests which is broadly classified into Roga and Rogi Pariksha such as Ashtavidha Pariksha, Dashavidha Pariksha and Dwadashavidha Pariksha. These tests are used very rarely by just few Ayurvedic practioners as an important diagnostic and prognostic methods in different diseases. Taila Bindu …
